Hundreds of scale models of iconic aircraft will be taking to the skies at the annual Large Model Air Show. Taking place on the airfield at Cosford, this famous air show in miniature is an absolute must for any aviation enthusiast.

Visitors will be able to see a whole range of models designed, built and flown by members of the Large Model Association from biplanes to modern day jets. From a distance in the skies, the models truly look like the real thing!

There's also plenty of refreshments to purchase from jacket potatoes to fish and chips. Not forgetting soft drinks, alcoholic drinks (adults only please!) and ice cream for those with a sweet tooth!

There will also be trade stands galore to treat yourselves, a list is available here.
